How to remove dotted border around active hyperlinks in IE8 with CSS

by

Try this CSS:

a:active, a:selected, a:visited { 
    border: none;
    outline: none;
}

Note that this has to be after any a:hover rules. Thanks to PEra in the comments for suggesting using the a:selected selector as well.

NOTE

The above does not work in IE 9. Removing a:selected causes it to work in IE9.
